Huge and very smooth UI. As long as it does not become an HR blast pit, I am a believer.

A pile of dead resumes-- with a fork in it. Reid started a good thing, but that day is gone.

They have really been gaining traction of late, and the redesign offers lots of useful functionality.

Their revenue is not charging users like you, but recruiters who pay to be able to email anyone, as well as companies doing job postings or advertising
